Overflowing with ideas and insider technique tips, Rice and friends present us with bountiful inspiration in this enthusiastic, well-illustrated book. It's not just a must-read but a must-OWN if you're involved with paper and fiber arts. The tip about silk screen ink (for art on fabric) saved me weeks of reinventing the wheel, and that's just one very small note in a book chock FULL of fabulous ideas and projects. Thank you, Rice!
Stamp Artistry by Rockport Press

This book is delightfully full of creative uses of rubber stamps by talented artisans in many mediums. The author has explained every project in easy-to-understand terms. Projects are separated into sections, such as "for the home," which makes it easy to select a project, and each section has a well-written introduction by the author. I didn't find one project I didn't like or wouldn't want to reproduce. The photography is wonderful! Any little petty glitches, which you'll find in any book, are easily overlooked because of the innovative subject matter and the masterful photos. (Even the revered "Chicago Manual of Style" has typos!) If you want something a little different, this is the book I recommend. It's worth every penny I spent on it, and I look forward to more great books by the author!

With projects for the beginner to the master, this inspiring book invites every reader to jump right in! The featured artists present new and interesting projects that are wearable (remember those great "travelling shoes" in Somerset Studio by Linda Woods?!), display-able, memorable--something for you, your home, your heart, your closet. There is something fun or challenging for everyone, and the directions and pictures are great. Be warned: work will have to wait once you get this book! Rice Freeman-Zachary's fun, encouraging style will grab you!
